"Praying for Boys" ~ End of the Month Wrap-Up

"We mustn't forget why we give in the first place-because we have been given so much.Not gold,not silver,not fancy presents,but simply the love of a radically good God.It's the goodness of Godthat compels us to be good.When we truly understand the depth of God's gift of salvation and where we would be without it,we're motivated to do good worksand live a good, moral life.We're motivated to givebecause God gave to us.We love to love,because of the way He first loved us.And we love to point others to Him because we knowHe can give them the same gifts He's given us."

-Brooke McGlothlin-

"On that day the Lord their God will save them,as the flock of his people; for like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on his land.For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty!"

About Me

I love God, my husband, my sons, my family, my friends. I try to find balance in an unbalanced world. I love living in Washington but am a Wisconsin Girl at heart. I love being an RN in Long Term Care. I am thankful EVERY day for my parents and the support they have given me on my 31 year journey thus far. I love a hot bath and a clean house. I think Erik and I will have more kids, and maybe adopt, but it is not up to us in the grand scheme. I love skiing, snowboarding, rollerblading, yoga, golf. I hate conflict and I love listening. I strive to live by the virtues of Discernment, Innocence, Authenticity, Modesty, Reverence, Contentment, and Generosity. I love the Green Bay Packers and Fantasy Football. I love how my baby sisters have developed into gorgeous women and are in love! I hate olives, running late, and wearing make-up. I love following Dave Ramsey's plan to "Live like no one else so we can Live and Give like no one else". My soft spot is for animals. I love the saying "Life is lived between the cup of coffee and the glass of wine"... and in my case, I prefer the coffee STRONG, and the wine RED! (Oh and did I mention, I love my husband?!)
